Well seeing as I'm now a boring old married woman I'm getting on with the decorating lol. Have 2 tables in living room which are in great condition but once decorated they wont fit in, just wondering if anyone can recommend a stain or varnish to change the colour

Thanks

Hiya not sure what kind of style your going for but I use Craig and Rose chalk paint for wooden furniture and it gives it a lovely look. Once painted use a wax like rust-oleum which gives it a nice finish. Good luck! :)

I use the Shellac (cause it's a natural product and very safe once dried and hardened). In your case, it should work fine, but be careful, cause it can be affected by heat (white rings will appear under a hot mug or bowl). Just apply it with a cotton rag or brush).

DIY - My speciality. I used to work as a chippy some years ago. Normally it is better to remove the old varnish first which you can do using a hand scraper, but it is much faster if you use a good Solvent Cleaner first. I prefer using a darker stain on wood that has had finish already put on it as the spread of colour is much better. Hope that helps?
